how likely is it that you would get pregnant if you only had a little sperm in you or on you

My almost 5yr old(boy) is mostly home this year, will start K in Aug 2008. He was in preschool 4 hrs a day, M-F, I changed that to twice a week, 3 hrs. So now, we have tons of time, just him and me.

We already do or have these:
Lincoln logs, Tinker Toys, SuperMind puzzles, crayons/markers/art supplies, puppets, some PBS TV shows, read books(he can read at 1st grade lvl), some fun math (addition..games), soccer, walk and play in different neighborhood parks, library, some children's discovery museum visits, some computer time (starfall.com )
No video games.
Looking for suggestions. What toy, activity, game does your 5 or 6 yr old boy(or girl!) enjoy?

***Any particular toy or game you bought and it was a big hit?
*** Any board game you would recommend?
***Or, just any suggestions on what else to do together? we already read, do art, talk, go for walks, puzzles.

Back then I (married, 29) didn't really seem to care that much. After this I got pregnant again but I did it on purpose. I gave birth to a baby girl 18 months ago and began to understand what life actually means. At times I feel bad about my past.
I wasn't raped or anything. How to handle the situation?

With your first you have all the lullabies going in the room. You had the energy and time to just treat him like a newborn. My second baby is 4 months old and he doesn't get covered with a blanket every time we go out. He doesn't get treated like he is breakable. He is loved and gets LOTS of attention, but I dont' get to treat him as 'babyish' as my first born. He just has to fit into the schedule (hey I even breastfeed him while I am shopping and my older one pushes the cart.. with my first born I would stop and take her somewhere we could relax to breastfeed her)....

I am a married man and over the past 10 years I been donating my sperm FREE to anyone in need. I have helped to conceive 12 children in 4 countries with 7 mothers. The eldest child is 8 years while the youngest is now 5 months. All sperm recipients must accept to keep in touch with each other and MUST encourage the children to establish a bond with each other. I have met many of the parents as well as the children and keep in touch with all by phone. We recently accommodated a lesbian couple visiting with their two children (both fathered by me) from Sweden and we are next to visit their beautiful country with our 3 children. I ship my sperm from a sperm bank. All couples sign an agreement absolving me from parental responsibility. While this is legal in my country, is it equally legal everywhere? Does anyone know if there are any legal loop holes that I should consider before going on? Many of these women are now bringing their friends and the list is growing very large. Please assist

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and was wondering when you started craving foods. I look at some foods that I would normally eat and they make me sick. I love eating and I hate that I don't want to eat everything I used to.

I got a couple of doozies here, WOW! I'm talking about EVIL!!! They're doing things that I hadn't had a chance to do when I was a child, and they're doing it and getting caught!! I know that I was a spoiled brat when I was a kid, and I know that I've done things that I should have gotten beat for, BUT I did them and didn't get caught.
Well, if you do have a brat, what do you do to get them in line?
I'm against hitting children, so I just want mental solutions, like, how do I go about teaching my spoiled brats the ways of not getting caught, because the times have changed, and these other adults are more wiser these days, compared to the idiots of back then.

What are you supposed to count as the first day of your period? My cycle is kind of weird, first I spot a tiny (I mean minuscule) amount of blood, then the next day a spot normal, then my period starts the third day. So which day is the actual start date..the slight spotting, the normal spotting, or the big gush? (I apologize if that's TMI!) Thanks!

If I pass a golf ball sized clot of liver like material is that a miscarriage? I bled for a couple weeks like a heavy period. I took a pregnancy test and it was positive with a faint line. I would just like to know what the material for a miscarriage might look like.

I have an appointment at the Dr. in a couple hours. :)

We like the name Delilah Ann for our daughter, but her initials will be DAM. I think she'll get teased, but my wife doesn't think it is a big deal. What does everyone think?

I got my friend one of those gift sets that has the piggy bank and a box for first tooth and first curl and some diapers. I need to get one more gift that won't cost over $10 that would go good with the gifts I already got her. It's her first baby.
